Out of mind

Maybe it will always be this way

Me alone here tending to my lost heart

Never feeling a part of my family

Even from the start I felt set apart

Seeing things a different way

Never being able to make anyone I loved

Stay close to me

And so now I am tired of trying to connect

In a world that seems to be blind

Or maybe just living life its own sweet way

And so I turn within

Although I also try to keep moving out

Finding here and there brief encounters along the way

When I have the courage to stray

From familiar paths

They bring a warmth to my soul

And every so often

Out of nowhere

Blessings occur

Leading me to infer

That life can be both cruel and kind

And often when we are out of sight

Even thought we doubt it

We are never totally out of mind
